The Good News
Of Your Faith And Love
But Timothy has just now come to us
from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love. He has told
us also that you always remember us kindly and long to see us – just as we long
to see you. For this reason, brothers and sisters, during all our distress and
persecution we have been encouraged about you through your faith. For we now
live, if you continue to stand firm in the Lord. How can we thank God enough
for you in return for all the joy that we feel before our God because of you?
Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and
restore whatever is lacking in your faith.
Now may our God and Father himself and
our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and
abound in love for one another and for all, just as we
abound in love for you. And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that
you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus
with all his saints.
The apostle Paul planted a church in
Thessalonica, the capital city of
Congregations, church buildings, and
budgets all come in different sizes. The true measure of success is
demonstrated by followers of Christ who love God and each other, and are
committed to living holy lives.
A small church
with a big vision
has greater
impact than a big church
with a small
vision.
